range {base}R Documentation

Range of Values

Description

range returns a vector containing the minimum and maximum of all the given arguments.

Usage

range(..., na.rm = FALSE)
range.default(..., na.rm = FALSE, finite = FALSE)

Arguments

... any numeric objects.
na.rm logical, indicating if NA's should be omitted.
finite logical, indicating if all non-finite elements should be omitted.

Details

This is a generic function; currently, it has only a default method (range.default).

It is also a member of the Summary group of functions, see Methods.

If na.rm is FALSE, NA and NaN values in any of the arguments will cause NA values to be returned, otherwise NA values are ignored.

If finite is TRUE, the minimum and maximum of all finite values is computed, i.e., finite=TRUE includes na.rm=TRUE.

Examples

print(r.x <- range(rnorm(100)))
diff(r.x) # the SAMPLE range

x <- c(NA, 1:3, -1:1/0); x
range(x)
range(x, na.rm = TRUE)
range(x, finite = TRUE)
